This Year's Model Updates:

The entry-level Lexus has been totally redesigned this year, growing in nearly every dimension. Lexus manages to eke out more power from the ES 300's 3.0-liter V6 engine. No longer just a dressed-up Camry, the ES 300 has finally come into its own.

Pros:
  • Beautiful new shape, more powerful engine, more interior space, and higher levels of luxury than the previous model.
Cons:

  • Great at high mileage too! - 1997 Lexus ES 300
    By -

    I bought my 1997 Lexus in September 2000 for my 60-mile highway commute. It had 57K on it. Today it has 142K. I had tried then-new Camry, Accord, and Maxima but for $20K the Lexus was in a better class altogether - and still is. It gets pretty basic maintenance from the local gas station but never misses a beat. It has never seen a Lexus or Toyota dealer. I have just bought my second set of tires - Dunlop Sport A4 - and am getting new struts all round. Otherwise no expenditure. I added a power sunroof ($1,000) and a 12-CD changer soon after getting the car - both well worth it.

    I purchased this car in 2001, pre-certified with 56,000 miles. My youngest child was 4 years old. She is freshman in college this year. We have driven her to pre-school up to college in this vehicle on several occasions. This car hasnt put me down so far, shes still going strong.

  • Good car! - 1997 Lexus ES 300

    Good car! Well built, great stereo system BUT at 70,000 miles it has an oil leak costing $1,000 to fix-very un- Lexus... Otherwise engine is great, trasmissions is smooth, and to top if off you get to cruise in a comfortable, safe car that after 7 years still looks good... What other cars besides Lexuss can you say that?
